Since no other photos of it have been posted here yet ... Partial Solar Eclipse, 11am, Reading, UK

Canon R5 Mk II + RF600mm F11 + Thousand Oaks Optical Solar Filter (alas filter missing any details of its "strength") all on a Manfrotto 405 tripod.

Bottom left is the original (ISO500, 1/125s, F11) , top left is playing around with the histogram tool to emphasise brightness changes, top right a slightly later photo again with histogram modification.

It was still slightly hazy - but I definitely got lucky considering I woke to a forecast of "Partially Cloudy"

If you are lucky you can get suitably filtered shots of the sun through cloud - obviously don't look directly, or purely through optics, but if you've a live digital display (e.g. most mirrorless cameras), it can work. The following was purest luck, that I'd no right to expect - I was just amusing myself seeing what my camera made of a hazy circle of light behind thick cloud. And yes, those are sunspots, I checked the sunspots for that day.
